Description

Aloe 'Johnson's Hybrid' is a charming, small succulent prized for its dense, clumping rosettes of slender, fleshy, bright green leaves adorned with delicate white speckles and soft, small teeth along the margins. This vigorous, ever-popular hybrid forms a tidy, spreading colony that produces an abundance of tall, slender flower spikes bearing bright orange, tubular blooms from late winter through spring. A magnet for hummingbirds and bees, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant, heat-loving, and low-maintenance, making it an outstanding choice for rock gardens, containers, succulent gardens, and water-wise landscapes.
